That was what was pretty much going on at the time.  Semi-professional, sponsored teams were placing entries in a racing series that was intended for amateur builders and drivers.  Incidentally, Pete Brock has a new book out; "The Road to Modena".

Thanks for the tip. I'll look out for the book. Presumably it's about the Cobra coupes? My original copy of The Cobra Ferrari Wars is a much missed 'lent-out-and-never-returned' casualty...

Just finished reading "Road to Modena" which I got for Christmas.  Recommend it.  Pete Brock writes with interesting detail the process of design and body building the Italian way versus the traditional methods used at the time.  He also writes about his relationship with Caroll Shelby and the Shelby organization during the mid-60s.  Much discussion about the Cobra Coupes and the very beginnings of aerodynamic considerations in automotive design.
